title: Dietary vitamin D intake among high-risk adolescents with insulin dependent diabetes.
abstract: The purpose of the present study was to describe the dietary intake of vitamin D in an urban, low income, predominantly African American sample of adolescents with insulin dependent diabetes.
  
  
  
  Participants were 99 adolescents diagnosed with insulin dependent diabetes. Vitamin D intake was estimated from dietary recall data. Blood glucose levels were also assessed.
  
  
  
  The average daily vitamin D intake estimated from dietary recall data was 102 IUs (SD = 64.4) with 70% of adolescents consuming less than 50 IUs of vitamin D in their day. Level of vitamin D intake was a significant predictor of HbA1c levels in the current sample.
  
  
  
  Results indicate a need for the assessment of vitamin D levels in this at-risk population, as supplementation may be indicated.
